106. Book Blurbs Joel Biermann, ap·ro·pos: The Two Realms and the Separation of Chuch and State
No full textThe conversation between Dr. Kevin Golden and Dr. Joel Biermann focuses on Dr. Bierman’s book, The Two Realms and the Separation of Church and State , published as part of the “Apropos” series from Concordia Publishing House. The book addresses the timely and perennial subject of the two realms and how the concept relates to the unique American experience and its political system. Dr. Biermann emphasizes that the two realms concept is much more expansive than just church and state; the temporal realm includes all of life—family, work, friends, neighbors, and government—while the spiritual realm is defined by one\u27s relationship with God. The discussion highlights two traditional pitfalls Christians fall into regarding the two realms: either collapsing them together (known historically as Constantinianism, or modern movements like Christian nationalism/Integralism) or over-separating them, leading to quietism and a failure to serve the neighbor in the temporal realm. Drawing heavily on a Lutheran perspective, the book asserts that Luther’s theology, rooted in scriptural truths, remains relevant today, stressing that the true Christian life leads believers *into* the temporal world with confidence, not out of it, ultimately compelling them to be socially involved and active in the world to serve their neighbors.https://scholar.csl.edu/cjc/1106/thumbnail.jp

The Labor Pains of Nicaea and the Birth of Christian Psychotherapy
No full textAmid persecution, paganism, heresies and the first two ecumenical councils, there was also the rise of fervent monasticism. We know and study the writings of the Irenaeus, Athanasius, Cappadocian Fathers and their battles with heretics, especially Arianism. But we learn very little about the simultaneous great movement of monasticism and the writings of the Desert Fathers. Evagrius of Ponticus (345-399) is the least known of the Cappadocian “Rat Pack” (Basil the Great, his brother Gregory of Nyssa and their friend Gregory of Nazianzus), yet he became known as the Father of Psychotherapy. His monastic writings have given the church a rich history of the therapeutic science which focuses on hesychastic (stillness), neptic (vigilance) and philokalic (prayer focusing on love of the beautiful) facets of the contemplative tradition. This is especially true in the eastern church. All of this is intimately and intentionally connected to Baptism and the Eucharistic life of the church. The teachings, techniques and biblical principles found in these writings are vital tools given to the church and especially pastors as Seelsorgers to combat the sinful passions and acedia (soul-sickness, despondency) that plagues our culture and churches today
